As a Belgian girl who reads the articles on this site regularly, I am quite shocked about your reactions.
Yes we beat USA in the world cup but I don’t think it’s fair to say we had it coming to lose. Both teams were amazing and in Belgium everyone talks about Tim Howard and how he was THE man of the match. So it’s unfair to be so happy about our loss.
Sour grapes, anyone?
